As for your statement about educating muslims and "reminding us that this isn't 1500" ...
I take serious offense to that.

Also, for you and FlyersFan, did Christianity not spread the same way?
Oh I forgot, the crusades were "self defense". [

Jesus was a spiritual teacher, true, but what proof do you have to back up the claim that Muhammad was not??? .

Why, when a Muslim person carries out a heinous crime, is his religion brought to the fore, yet when a non-Muslim commits a similar crime, then his religion/irreligion is not even mentioned ?

You're absolutely spot on with this one, Annee.

Because honor killings may be a part of muslim culture, thats why. Similar crimes happen everywhere, but the possibility of their cultural acceptance among (self-described) muslims makes these cases particulalry newsworthy.

Wow so much hate....
I know plenty of Muslims and they are not evil, they don't agree with extreme views, they love their kid's just as much as we do...
Of course, there are good people who happen to be Muslim. They are fellow human beings.
Muslims are brainwashed from birth that Islam is the only true religion in the world. Does that sound familiar?
Before you lump Muslims in with Christian Fundies, there are some key differences:
1.) Jesus was a genuine spiritual teacher. Muhammad was not.
2.) Historically, Christians have committed atrocities. But Jesus would never have supported such behavior. It's been a few centuries since they burned anyone at the stake. Christians have evolved to more enlightened thinking since the Crusades and the Inquisition.
3.) On the other hand, Muhammad was a mass murderer who supported killing Infidels who refused to accept Muhammad as the "True Prophet of God."
And no, I am NOT a Christian.
I enjoy how you're ignoring my posts.
1) Jesus was a spiritual teacher, true, but what proof do you have to back up the claim that Muhammad was not??? Talking out the side of your neck. If Muhammad was not a spiritual teacher, tasawwuf would not exist. If you don't know what tasawwuf is, you need to STOP trying to get your "islamic education" on jihadwatch and religionofpeace, because anybody, can put a negative spin, on anything.
2) It hasn't been that long since they picketed a funeral, or killed an abortionist.
3) My above post schools you on the word "infidel". And a true study of historic accounts and circumstances of the wars that went on in the time of the Prophet would prove you wrong. Your problem is, that you do research with a slant. You wouldn't research to know, you'd research to prove your own thought right, no matter what your source is.

I am not ignoring your posts, My.mind.is.mind. There's a lot to respond to in this thread and I can't respond instantly to all the posts I would like to.
In 627 CE (AD), "The Jewish tribe of Qurayza raided by Muhammad; some 800 men beheaded (only one Jew abjuring his religion to save his life) and all the women and children sold as slaves." This is from my copy of the Koran (Qur'an) translated by an Iraqi Muslim and Arabic scholar named N.J. Dawood.
To me this is proof positive that Muhammad was not a true man of God.
Loonies picketing a US soldier's funeral for political reasons is not equal to the violence commited by Islamic terrorists. The very rare "Christian" (in name only) extremist bombing an abortion clinic or murdering a medical doctor who works there does not equate with the countless cases of mass murder committed by Islamic terrorists.
The word "infidel" (literally "unbeliever") can be applied to anyone who does not believe Muhammad was a "true prophet of God."

ummm, my point is, Islam didn't invent any enemy.
Did you read my post or are you just too blind to realize that what you're speaking is regurgitated unfounded lies.
How can you say the satanic verses incident happened?
that doesn't make sense that you'd deny claims of the Prophet promoting peace, but say with certainty that a certain incident took place?
So to sum up people from all faiths can be bad.
Islam is a religion, NOT A CULTURE.
